She is the last celebrity I would expect anyone to show this kind of rage towards. How miserable of a person would you have to be to freaking hate Dolly Parton?

u/CannotSpellForShit Sep 01 '26

A mentally ill/inebriated person on the streets of Hollywood blvd. It is a really sketchy and run down area. I doubt there was any thought behind it.

She also wouldn't have mind. Its insured for perpetuity. Part of the fee includes maintenance and repairs.

u/Slacker_The_Dog Sep 01 '26

Yeah she'd honestly probably be worried about the person who did it.

Dolly Parton was a saint

Maybe this act is what needed to happen so this individual can get some help and support. Dolly works in mysterious ways.

Executive order: Trump's star insurance policy is revoked. Probably not a day-one action for the next president, but first 100 days? Absolutely.

There are plenty of people out there that hate "goodness" in whatever form they see it. Life has been harsh to them, either through luck or their own hand, and they want everyone else to suffer with them.

Dolly was pretty universally beloved. Nearly 80% of people asked gave Dolly are favorable review regardless of their stated political alignment.

Still, that leaves 20%...

She was too good. She did good shit. She was smart and savvy and honest and independent and a woman. She wrote some great songs and sang like an angel. Of course some people are going to hate her.

u/AgentCirceLuna Sep 01 '26

Yep. Resentment is a very horrible thing to be on the other side of. I was the guy who did the entertainment in a bar where others had to clean shit from the toilets with only gloves on and had to break up violent fights. I got hugged and kissed while they got yelled at. I ended up suffering a lot of abuse from the staff as time went on. I had to leave.

It fucking sucks but they steal from graveyards too

19

u/AgentCirceLuna Sep 01 '26

My dad said this happened at a graveyard he worked security near. Him and another guy, who had no luck chasing the crooks, decided another tactic; they were ex-army and camouflaged themselves then lay on top of the soil where some gravestones were nearby a bunch of new decorations they’d put up themselves. They knew the time the vandals usually arrived. They thought it might not work after some time laying there, then they heard them coming. As they got near, my dad and the other guard sat straight up rigid bursting through stones they’d put over the top of themselves. They said the crooks ran like hell and one went flying as he tripped over a gravestone. They never came back.

u/AIBotnmbr99 Sep 02 '26

That is certainly a possibility, but there's a lot of stars there to vandalize. The who and the timing seem like a bit more than a random coincidence.

u/MatureUsername69 Sep 01 '26

There actually arent a lot of other stars with a shit ton of flowers and memorial stuff around them right now. Thats what would make the star a target to either a homeless vandal or somebody who disliked her

u/PenNew7441 Sep 01 '26

Got approached by a guy at my gym that i know slightly (as in, casual hellos) and he very confidently told me that Dolly was not a good person because she "pushed the Covid vaccine" and that it was the vaccine that gave her cancer. Said it with his whole chest. Referred to "the video" that laid all this out as if I should know what he was talking about. So I wouldn't be surprised if there was some anti-vax Dolly slander happening online.

29

u/panaceaXgrace Sep 01 '26

Yeah I swear in three days here in TN they went from crying over her death to vilifying her for being 'woke'. I don't know if it's related to this, I'm just shocked though I shouldn't be. I wondered who influenced them to change their minds. Today in a Memphis suburb specific FB group someone was talking about how she encourage... I won't even say the word but it rhymes with "grannies" because she was approving of drag performers in her image. And they were glad they didn't lower the flag in Olive Branch, MS.

Memphis LOVES Dolly, this is one of those um... uppity people who think they "escaped" Nutbush for the burbs but they still carry that hyper religious conditioning that also seems to teach that racism is acceptable.

There have also been various idiots saying she doesn't deserve to have the flags lowered. I saw a story about some guy who forcibly raised the one at his local post office before getting arrested.

u/Pete_Iredale Sep 01 '26

I don't think flags should be lowered for any celebrities. But if we're going to do it, then Dolly absolutely deserves the honor.

17

u/nhaines Sep 01 '26

If I were forced to think of stars that deserved flags being lowered for, it's like... Jim Henson, Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross... A couple others who are still alive...

Dolly Parton is right at the forefront of everyone.

Look at what Ricky Schroeder said about her. A lot of right-wingers didn't like her because of her support for LGBT, Black people, and Covid vaccinations.

u/CoyoteScribbles Sep 01 '26

And this is why I want to slap all the fuckers trying to paint over her legacy with their "DOLLY WAS NEVER PARTISAN! SHE WASN'T POLITICAL!" bullshit.

DOLLY PARTON WAS LITERALLY THREATENED FOR OPENLY SUPPORTING LGBTQ+ AND BLACK PEOPLE, AND FOR FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING MEDICAL RESEARCH. She opposed hate and violence with love, but that doesn't mean she was bipartisan and apolitical.

14

u/AgentCirceLuna Sep 01 '26

I was a student in medical research and left when I found out about all the threats researchers get. It sounded terrifying. I can’t remember what it was exactly but there’s a screenshot in my post history of a Covid researcher who got an email filled with threats on their life plus a threat on their DOG which the emailer had obviously found out about through stalking. When the stalker was reported to the police, it was found they had travelled to the area and been unable to find the victim! Scary as fuck. I couldn’t handle doing something like that.

10

u/i_tyrant Sep 02 '26

The funny thing is I doubt she'd consider it "being political" so much as "supporting people in general" and all the ways they express themselves.

But of course none of these things should be "political" at all, so much as what any decent person would support - but we have a huge chunk of people who are anything but decent to their fellow Americans and love making this stuff into a political issue.

u/Technical-Mix-3315 Sep 01 '26

I keep seeing people say this but I don't get it. I was there last year with my son, in the area where the Chinese Theater was. It was a typical touristy area - lots of people with cameras and selfie sticks, food vendors, street entertainers, stores and cafes, souvenir stalls, etc. Nothing sketchy about it - just kinda tacky.

8

u/fleshtastical Sep 02 '26

I’m wondering if it’s a bot. The walk of fame area is nothing like he describes. I’ve been to LA a million times and not once have I felt unsafe in that area. There’s barely any homeless people because the move them to skid row. The people liking that comment have clearly never been to the walk of fame.

4

u/qtx Sep 02 '26

I doubt it's a bot, feel it's more like someone that is not familiar with general city life and will see things differently than us folks that live in big cities.

Had a family member visit once, they grew up and lived in a very rural area and they were shocked at every single little thing I don't even notice or find unnerving.

u/CannotSpellForShit Sep 01 '26

I don't think they really care. There's stuff like this, or this, or this indicating that conservatives actually like her. There are some political moves she's made but she isn't really an aggressively outspoken political figure and Trump hasn't made any jabs at her to sway his fanbase.

Occam's Razor actually would indicate that, given her star is on Hollywood Blvd, it was probably one of the many homeless people there doing something unusual because they aren't mentally well. I get it's tempting to think that everything is a conservative's fault but as a local to that area I really doubt it.

u/Dudewhocares3 Sep 01 '26

Yeah.

I’m gonna say something controversial, so be ready for a potential flame war

A prime example of this is the people that support Charlie Kirk said nothing when he said he wanted to pay for the bail for that psycho that tried to kill Nancy Pelosi and her husband, but when he died? All his supporters got pissed off when the majority of the left was apathetic to it because he was an asshole in life.

And the rest made jokes about his death, just like the right does about black people getting shot by police, trans people killing themselves, women getting raped, etc.

It’s an abuser entitlement mindset.

She donated a lot of money to the COVID vaccine, that created conservative dipshits as enemies.

A coworker told me she wants to eat Taylor Swifts future baby, the proof was a video where Dolly thanked Taylor for a charitable donation and said "all I ask in return is your first born child" as a joke BUT SHE KINDA MADE DEVIL HORNS WITH HER HAND IN THE VIDEO.

My aunt counts Dolly has a vaccination casualty... Even though it's been 5 years since she was vaccinated.

She was 80 and had cancer, but your aunt still wants to blame the vaccine? Some people are simply beyond reason. It's sad.

On Facebook I keep getting Dolly hate posts on my feed from MAGAs, saying she's a demon mostly because of her support and funding of the COVID vaccines. Those posts also of course all push the idea that she died because she took the COVID vaccine. It gave her "turbo cancer". I wish I was joking, and I feel like my IQ just dove off of a cliff by even referring to that term, but that's the literal term they're using, and saying the vaccine caused it.

Unrelated, but I've also seen a lot of people say that she's actually a man pretending to be a woman.

It's insane, I've always thought she was the one untouchable celebrity that everybody unanimously loved. Apparently not.

Tldr: MAGAs are a fucking cancer to society.

I'm so glad that social media was still mostly in it's infantcy when I was in school. I remember this kid (don't want to give his name) who died during a football game I was at in high school. He took a bad hit in just the wrong way and died on the field. He was really popular and well liked, the school kind of "shut down" for like a week. It was so sad and weird, even at a school that was pretty big, it hit people a lot. If it had been today, people who didn't even go to our school or live in our state would have probably said awful shit online and made it politcal. I feel bad my kid sister had to grow up in this, but luckily she's a great kid and doesn't really do much social media.

u/Merry_Dankmas Sep 02 '26

Sameish. I entered high school in 2011 so Facebook was around and the hot big thing. Snapchat hadn't come around yet and Instagram had been out for less than a year. MySpace was basically dead though at that point and Google+ was struggling to be a thing.

So while I wouldn't say it was in its infancy, it was sooooo much different than it is now. People actually used it like normal, civilized people. Just sharing memes and poking each other for shits and giggles. Sure, toxicity always existed and still did then but that was "This guy is a real asshole" toxicity. Not whatever the fuck it is nowadays where you struggle to comprehend wtf youre reading.

Simpler times man, simpler times. Deleting Facebook after graduating high school was the best thing I ever did. Being thrust in the middle of today's social media as a teenager must be genuine hell. No wonder so many teenagers have so many issues.

Meanwhile my twitter was filled with people investigating whether she supported Israel and donated any books to kids there, and criticizing her for not speaking up abt Palestine lmao

Why would anyone normal ever continue to use twitter. People that pay Elon for verification automatically have their comments featured first, and then that loser pays those accounts for creating "engagement" aka posting the most deranged ragebait they can come up with 24/7. Completely fucking unserious website

In my state, the most conservative Trumpy state in the USA, everyone was quick to say how much they loved Dolly and how she represented what America stands for. A local AM propaganda radio show was talking about how the rags to riches and working hard is what USA is all about and how everything Dolly stood for they supported.

I called right into the show and discussed how Dolly created the book program that state lawmakers defunded and how she supported trans rights when our state law makers passed antitrans laws, and how she preached compassionate Christianity when dealing with LGBT accpeptance, which again our state lawmakers tore down support for gay citizens. Then I asked does Dolly really stand for what you modern republicans stand for, and that she really did stand for the qualities most Americans support.

The host argued superficially for a few moments then went to commercial break. My point is I can see most crazy MAGA people who loved Dolly for her music but realized she was WOKE.

You can go read about it now. Dolly's was likely vandalized in retaliation when a redditor *instagrammer posted a comparison of dolly's star's flowers and trump's heavily vandalized star. Trump has had his star completely destroyed several times over

Realistically? Probably MAGA. They hate kids (once they're born, unless they're r*ping them), helping people, empathy, christian values. Pretty much everything Dolly really stood for and prioritized in her life.

MAGAts are realizing she was everything they hate, and she didn't hate everything they thought she should hate. The most amazing thing I keep seeing is all the people trying to either smear her name, hate on her, etc.. I expected people trying to make her political now that she's dead and can't tell people to stop politicizing her, but I didn't expect MAGA to just give up and hate on her so easily.

Probably because I run in more left circles than I do right ones, but I've seen notably more people on the left decry Dolly as a sort of "false profit" or someone not worth remembering for a variety of reasons - Kid Rock collaboration and not loudly supporting Palestine are ones i see most frequently along with allegations of racism, supporting the Salvation Army and others - than I have those on the right.

It's easy to be shocked that someone would do something like this until you click on a bad link and end up in a forum with 20,000 people talking about how Tom Hanks is secretly wearing an ankle monitor because he was convicted of pedophilia in Australia.

If 1 in every 5,000 people are completely out of their minds insane then a city like Los Angeles has thousands of them. It doesn't mean anything about our society, it's an outlier getting attention. 30 years ago most of us would never have known about this story.
